GoPro Hero 11 Black Review After 30 Days

Before I make a review for an important release such as the GoPro Hero 11 Black, I like to spend a good amount of time using it in real-world situations how I would normally use my GoPro. So after thoroughly using and testing the GoPro Hero 11 for 30 days here are my thoughts on it. Keep in mind I am just an average joe GoPro user, I use my GoPro's on RC trucks, vacations, travel and adventure, hiking, FPV drones, and capturing a lot of b-roll footage for my YouTube channel. So that is the perspective from which this review of the GoPro Hero 11 Black is coming. In this video, we talk about the new features, lots of sample footage, some stabilization comparisons, and overall user experience.

Hey Sean, I just received my first GoPro. A GoPro Hero 11 Black, yesterday. I have found your videos to be greatly informative and they have been highly influential in my choice. Since it showed up yesterday, I have done some practice Vogging and Star-trails, and I am very pleased with the results! Looking forward to more of your reviews and your valuable insight! Have a great day, Tom. ✌️😎

I liked your relaxed presentation. You weren't talking like you were in a race. That's a good thing and makes things easier to understand what you are trying to say. Great video. Thank you!

I love the Go Pro 11! Hands down the Best ever Released! 10 had so much problems, freezing & overheating! The 11 been so Smooth & No Problems! Thankyou Go Pro for getting it Down! 💯 🔨

Amazing review. I'm planning on buying a GoPro for myself on Christmas so every positive and negative review is good. In some of the videos I've heard people say there's a lot of problems and then there's people like you that never had a single problem with it. Hope there won't be any problems. The footage is just stunning. Amazing quality, amazing stabilization and the difference between 8-bit and 10-bit colors is pretty big I'd say. What was really holding me back from buying a GoPro or generally a newer action camera was that the video quality was great but the photos not so much and then I would get to a point where I would film with my GoPro but if I wanted to take a picture I would have to take out my phone to take a better quality photo. Now that both photos and videos are amazing I think it's absolutely worth it to buy the GoPro Hero 11 I have an action camera I bought in 2016 and it's pretty bad for what you can have today. The max resolution it can film in is 1080 and with only 30 FPS, has no stabilization, can film for like 3 minutes before the battery is dead and the photos are pretty much unusable. I was using it when snorkeling in Egypt because I didn't have enough money to buy the newest GoPro so rather than buying like a GoPro 7 I think it's worth it to save up some money and buy the Hero 11 the snorkeling was absolutely amazing the problem was that the battery was dead almost immediately, the quality wasn't so great, colors were awful if there wasn't sun shining at the reef and I literally had to turn the camera off after every shot because if I didn't the battery would die in like a minute. It takes maybe like 10 seconds for it to turn back on so you can imagine that there was so many moments that were absolutely amazing but I couldn't film because my camera was turning on. Once I had an eagle ray like 5 meters away from me. It was swimming just a few inches above the reef and before the camera turned on the eagle ray was already swimming away so I only got a video of it swimming away. There was a lot of moments that I could film and I missed them because of it. The fish wouldn't wait like 10 seconds for my camera to turn on. Before it turned on the fish was already either gone or swimming away from me so you couldn't even see it at all. At least some of the videos are usable. I took almost 500 videos on that vacation. Not a lot of them were usable. Most of them are extremely shaky or it just doesn't look good.

I had sold my hero 9, purchased hero 10, now sold 10 and purchased 11, but honestly say still low light is a great hurdle in the way of good filming with gopro !

[dieseldavetrains]

I have a GoPro Hero 9 which I am quite happy with, except it doesn't do well with sunrise or sunset video recording, it just doesn't like poor lighting (video is not sharp), I would up grade to the Hero-11 if this was much improved? Great clip.

[do-ineedtosay]

I hope to see some R/C Truck videos using the GoPro 11 Black.

Great video . I’ll be getting the GoPro 11 soon as filming in 8:7 ratio gives you great flexibility while editing content.

Great review and lovely shots of my beloved Niagara region (Canadian side of the border)! I own Hero8 and do similar videography like you (without the FPV drone stuff). Would you recommend upgrading to H11 or wait for future editions of this otherwise great product?

[kalleimmonen]

I returned mine. The scheduled capture didn't work at all. No confirmation or help form Gopro for the issue. I have used Hero9's and 10 with external power source and scheduled capture (4K video) a lot. Seems to be a firmware bug, but probably folks don't use Gopro 11 that way as I do...

[MikeAzul]

Unfortunately another YouTuber tested it and found the 10bit was 420 and not 422 😕

Otherwise this may be my first GoPro seems fantastic. Would love to mount it on some drones

[bikingchupei]

thought you were gonna stop the ride to demonstrate auto boost expanding the fov because there was little stabilization needed.

[RonaldBrown]

Nice 30 day in review, these GoPro's just keeping better each year. But at this point these cameras are very refined so the changes are not earth shattering, especially if you owned last. years model. Video quality is excellent for a action camera and stabilization is near perfect. Low light performance is what I would have suspected it to be. Great video Shawn, thanks for sharing.

[Dejan_Unlimited]

Great feedback and lovely Niagara shots❤ How happy you are with the sound from the Creator edition ?

[MichaelTapel]

I totally agree about the flexibly of the 8:7 I just release a video about it on my channel, but I was wondering do you have those weird artificial lines in the video when shooting in 8:7?
it is especially visible when you rotate the camera, it's not too bad but it's definitely visible to me and it's not there when I shoot at 16:9...

[albertomendoza]

Hi Sean, you have a new subscriber. Great video!!!. During this year I bought my first motocycle and looking for my first action camera... I have no experience at all using a GoPro. I really appreciate your video and hoping to learn more about it. Greetings from México.

[richardsteeples]

Will it let you make film or do interviews does it only have a fish eye lens or does it have a normal one to?

[dbsranchr]

How much larger does 10bit increase file size, within same resolutions?

[Ryanisunavailable]

Hero 11 black or dji action 2 for primarily fpv? What yall think?

[KensGarage]

Great video. I have the 10 and yes, great image stabilization, great video, but it still locks up like the other 2 versions I have had. Really unbelievable they did not correct this nagging problem. For this reason alone maybe upgrade to the 11. Although for this reason I have been looking at the competition. Most of my gopro videos are motorcycle rides and the auto leveling takes a bit of excitement out. When watching previous version videos people commented how they would kind of tilt their head while watching (me too). With the 10 some of this goes away because they are leveling the landscape. Is there a way to turn this feature off?
